Battery Intelligence Goes Into the Mine

Propel Industries, India's leader in crushing, screening, and washing equipment, with 2,900+ installations across 36+ countries, selected the ELECTRA AI Brain for Batteries™ platform for its expanding electric fleet, including EV dumper trucks and tractor-trailers.

Continuous SoH and RUL analytics, early fault detection, operational guidance. Electrifying heavy haulage is one of the toughest tests a battery can face.

Deployment is underway.

The Data Center Is No Longer Gated by Chips

ELECTRA AI, through its Head of Marketing, Giovanni Rossi, is a contributor to the Volta Foundation AI and Data Center Committee Paper: "Where Batteries Can Win in Data Center Applications."

The AI buildout is now limited by power, not compute, and with grid connections taking 4+ years, storage deploys in 12-18 months. As the cell commoditizes, the difficulty climbs to the system level: integration, controls, and dispatch. That's the layer the AI Brain for Batteries™ platform is built for.

No Company Gets to Nasdaq Alone

Long before the Business Combination Agreement (BCA) with Iron Horse Acquisition II Corp. (Nasdaq: IRHO), the S-4, and the roadshow, we were an early-stage team with a big claim: batteries deserve an AI Brain.

Thank you to MassChallenge (Beth Zonis), Accelerate Mass (Tibor Toth), Cleantech Open Northeast / ACT, TiE ScaleUp (Satish Jha), Elevator by Endeavor (Marco Rampazzo, Lorenzo Nicoletti), and all their teams.

The best ecosystems don't just fund companies. They build them.

Thank you to all the parties supporting us along the years

The Electrification Inflection Point

Mobility at ~$1.4T by 2029. Data centers near $914B. Robotics at $128B. Grid storage at $96B.

Electrification isn't one market; it's a dozen, accelerating at once, all leaning on the same component, all still run by software that's barely changed in twenty years.

The old scoreboard was monitoring accuracy. The new one is prediction quality. That shift, from monitoring to reasoning, is the ELECTRA AI category.

Why ELECTRA AI?

Because a battery management system tells you what's happening. An intelligent layer tells you what to do about it:

Hardware-agnostic
Adaptive across chemistries
Physics-based modeling combined with AI, continuously improving through real-world deployment data

That's the difference between managing a battery and understanding it. This is the AI Brain for Batteries™ platform.
